How to Perfect your Golf Swing
The difference between a good golfer and a great golfer, can more often than not, be put down their golf swing. At championships you will notice that there are many good golfers but there are always few who at the top in every event, time after time. Why? Maybe the perfect golf swing…?
The perfect golf swing comes from several factors but the biggest is the angle from your body that your club head makes from the backswing right through until you have contact with the ball. Called the “golf swing plane” The swing plane should follow the same line on both the backswing and the swing its self.
A poor golf swing can rob you of:
Distance: Your shots just don’t make the distance; it could be up to 50 yards!
Accuracy: You go crazy with a lack of accuracy, you slice, and we have hooks, pulls, pushes - ouch!
Consistency: A lack of consistency (fat shots, topped shots, thin shots, toe/heel shots, sky shots, shanks etc, etc.)
So how can you close the distance between your game now and the game you would like to play? Is it curable, can you afford to fix the problem? How can you correct the angle you take?
Take lessons from a Golf Pro, buy the latest gadget? Sure you can go take a Golf Swing Lesson from a Golfing Pro and spend time on the driving range, or you can go and buy the very latest golf swing help device or a “golf swing trainer”.
The golf pro will stand back and watch the angle of swing on the way up in your backstroke and then watch the angle you take on the downward stroke. This information he will give you and try to help you correct the angle. After the lesson you will realise that it’s a lot harder to see from a distance than it is to feel your self actually doing it. You probably make some progress although not as much as you would like and golf is all about repeatability.
Maybe the latest gadget will help, but it will very probably end up in your closet!
Is there another way, a way that you can use and clearly see what you need to do to improve?
The answer is “YES”, if you have a 7-iron, a golf ball and a wall, then, yes there is, and it’s free! So OK, what is it, how do I do it?

Golf Swing Tips - Top 5 Golf Rubbish!
Filed Under golf swing | Comments Off

These are the top 5 golf swing tips handed down by generations of golf pros that are pure RUBBISH!!
These 5 golf swing falsehoods have ruined more golf swings than I care to imagine. I believe these 5 so called “golf swing tips” are the reason the average golfer’s handicap has stayed the same for the past 20 years - Even with all the advancements in golf equipment technology.
I will be pulling the curtain back on some golf swing tips you may consider as gospel…so please keep an open mind.
Top 5 Golf Fallacies That Are Ruining Golfer’s Game:
1. RELAX - Pure rubbish! How many times have you heard this golf swing tip from a golf pro or a playing partner? The golf swing is a violent action - is there any other violent action you take when you relax? - of course not - This is foolish advice.
2. Be Loose. This is the second cousin of “Relax”. When you are “loose” in the golf swing your hips are NOT restricted therefore you will NOT have that important coil in your backswing robbing you of much power.
3. Take The Club Back Inside - More rubbish! I’m sure you’ve heard many times how the correct golf swing is from the inside. So some golfers yank the club way inside early in their backswing thinking this will allow them to hit from the inside. These golfers are shocked when they still hit the golf ball from the outside. Hitting the golf ball from the inside comes from proper hip and shoulder action at the start of the downswing. You can take the club back way outside and still hit the ball from the inside - look at Jim Furyk - he takes the club way back to the outside however his move from the top of the swing is pure and from the inside.
4. The Golf Club Is On The Same Plane Going Back As It Is Coming Down. Again, this golf swing tip has been misguiding golfers for generations. The path of the clubface is much more to the inside during the downswing than during the backswing in a sound golf swing. This is because a proper golf swing has a lateral shift of the hips which drops the club into the all important “slot” early in the downswing. This action of the left hip automatically puts the path of the clubface much more to the inside than the path going back.
5. Turn The Hips To The Left To Start The Downswing. This golf fallacy causes golfers to “spin out” during the downswing and the result is a total mis-hit of the golf ball. Turning the hips to start the downswing forces you to throw the golf club to the outside causing terrible mis-hits. Again, the correct move is a lateral shift of the left hip to start the downswing and the hips will then turn automatically. It is possible to NOT have this lateral shift and still turn the hips from the top - however, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have the lateral shift of the left hip to start the downswing and the hips NOT turn.
Hit ‘em Long and Straight!
